UEI Symposium
Date: 19 November 10:30-17:00 (walk-in from 10:00, followed by networking drinks from 17:00) Location: The Old Library, Raam 180, 2611 WP Delft Register Here Submit Research Paper The Netherlands aims to increase energy renovations in existing buildings to 200,000 per year. For the past four years, the "Integrated Approaches for Energy Renovations in Existing Buildings" (IEBB) consortium has worked to develop innovative and scalable solutions to achieve this goal. On November 19, Urban Energy Institute will host its annual symposium which will also serve as the closing event for the IEBB program. The event will showcase IEBB’s most promising results and lessons learned. Professionals from industry, government and academia will gather to exchange ideas on how these results can be further put into practice. This event is organized by TU Delft and TNO in collaboration with TKI Urban Energy, TKI Bouw en Techniek and RVO. Program 10:00 – 10:30 Walk-in, Registration & Coffee 10:30 – 10:40 Welcome Remarks by Moderator, Geert Maarse Speaker Moderator Geert Maarse 10:40 – 11:00 Opening Keynote: “Transitions” by Laure Itard, Professor of Building Energy Epidemiology, TU Delft (EN) Speaker The energy transition in buildings entails many different transitions. Drawing on insights from IEBB and broader developments in science, technology and society, Laure Itard will discuss next steps towards broad sustainability in the built environment. TU Delft Laure Itard 11:00 – 11:30 Opening Panel Discussion: Reflecting on IEBB Collaboration (NL) Speakers Hogeschool Utrecht Mieke Oostra TNO Huub Keizers RVO Marion Bakker TU Delft Henk Visscher 11:30 – 12:00 PhD Panel: Tangible Results for Industry (EN) Speakers Priva Paula van den Brom TU Delft Prateek Wahi TU Delft Evert van Beek 12:00 – 13:00 Networking Lunch 13:00 – 14:30 Parallel Sessions: Round 1 Track 1: Bundling Renovation Measures (NL) Accelerating the energy transition in the built environment requires a different way of thinking about renovation “products” and more efficient, standardized ways to produce and install them. This section presents a cross-section of the various technological developments, tools and methods have been developed within IEBB for this purpose. Reimarkt Mathijs Vallinga TNO Piet Jacobs Cyclomedia Niels van den Kieboom Track 2: Collaboration Models for Energy Renovations (EN) Speeding up renovations of buildings owned by multiple owners requires a different way of doing business. This workshop will focus on the IEBB project WNR (Woonlasten-neutraal Renoveren – Living Cost Neutral Renovation) and its follow-up, the LIFE project CondoReno . The session offers insights into new business models and collaboration structures that help homeowners to jointly pursue a whole renovation trajectory.
